The Minority in Ghana's parliament has said any move to introduce the unanimously criticized Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) into the educational sector is a betrayal to Ghanaians.

According to the Minority, attempts to introduce CSE as part of the curriculum are at variance with Ghanaian culture and customs.

The Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu said at a press conference on Friday, October 4, 2019 stated: “The Minority condemns in the strongest terms possible the reckless and nation-wrecking CSE agenda of the Akufo-Addo led Government which is an affront to our national values, cultural norms, and religious beliefs.”

“The despicable conduct of the Akufo-Addo Administration in signing Ghana up as the lead nation in a group of six African countries which includes Eswatini (former Swaziland), Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe which are being described by UNESCO as Program Acceleration Countries is the most betrayal of the Ghanaian people in recent history,” he added


He further indicated that the Education Minister had not stated the full facts about the CSE and may be the subject of their motion in the House.

“The Minority has taken judicial notice of the pathetic attempt by the Minister of Education, Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh at a press briefing on 1st October, 2019 to deny the Government’s complicity and active implementation of the CSE agenda. This is the same Minister who recently accused President Mahama of busing thousands of Ghanaians to the Black Star Square during his self-induced inept SHS placement crisis.”

“The Minority wishes to draw the attention of the nation that we are aware and have proof of same that the Akufo-Addo Government has signed Ghana up to the Program Acceleration Countries (PAC) initiative involving six African countries for the implementation of Comprehensive Sexuality Education.”
